Classic 80's Rock Ballad by Houston hometown band ZZ Top.

The space theme reminds me even more of Houston.

Also, Electric City by the Black-eyed Peas makes me think of H-town sort of. I think the beat of the song is pretty appropriate for the overall pace of the city...

Wow, The Black Eyed Peas have a unique sound- They're one of the few artists that I tolerate on the mainstream radio these days.
I used to be obsessed with them back in their "Elephunk/Monkey Business" days.

Back when Houston Rap was still underground & selling mix tapes on the corner, out of cars, & at the clubs was a way of life.

Geto Boys circa 1989 in their very first music video.

When I think of Houston, I think of rap songs like "Chop on Blades" or "Choppaz" for some reason.
If it's not those too it's definitely "Wanna Be A Baller".

I can't think of a pop song to associate to Houston, or New Orleans for that matter.
